JavaScript: Generate an array, containing the Fibonacci sequence, up until the nth term
JavaScript fundamental (ES6 Syntax): Exercise-237 with Solution
Write a JavaScript program to generate an array, containing the Fibonacci sequence, up until the nth term.
- Use Array.from() to create an empty array of the specific length, initializing the first two values (0 and 1).
- Use Array.prototype.reduce() and Array.prototype.concat() to add values into the array, using the sum of the last two values, except for the first two.
Sample Solution:
JavaScript Code:
//#Source https://bit.ly/2neWfJ2
const fibonacci = n =>
Array.from({ length: n }).reduce(
(acc, val, i) => acc.concat(i > 1 ? acc[i - 1] + acc[i - 2] : i),
[]
);
console.log(fibonacci(2));
console.log(fibonacci(3));
console.log(fibonacci(6));
Sample Output:
[0,1] [0,1,1] [0,1,1,2,3,5]

JavaScript: Tips of the Day
Checking if a key exists in a JavaScript object?
Checking for undefined-ness is not an accurate way of testing whether a key exists. What if the key exists but the value is actually undefined?
var obj = { key: undefined }; obj["key"] !== undefined // false, but the key exists!
You should instead use the in operator:
"key" in obj // true, regardless of the actual value
If you want to check if a key doesn't exist, remember to use parenthesis:
!("key" in obj) // true if "key" doesn't exist in object !"key" in obj // ERROR! Equivalent to "false in obj"
Or, if you want to particularly test for properties of the object instance (and not inherited properties), use hasOwnProperty:
obj.hasOwnProperty("key") // true
